Loyola Hearn may be fishing for trout in a big pond instead of searching for the possibly scarce votes he'd get in the next federal election.
Here's a bit of what Loyola Hearn told CBS about the pressure he felt during the past two weeks.
Note especially the reply to the question about his future in politics:
"How long more to you stay around? That's the point," he says. "Another year from now, I might decide that I might want to go trouting too, you know."
Meanwhile, Hearn's opponents in the last federal election said they are planning another run at the seat.
Liberal Siobhan Coady and New Democrat Peg Norman want another shot.
The thing is, though, will they be shooting at Hearn...
or Ed Byrne?
